Good Friday To You All!!!

 

From the earliest times the Christians kept every Friday as a feast day; and the obvious reasons for those usages explain why Easter is the Sunday par excellence, and why the Friday which marks the anniversary of Christ's death came to be called the Great or the Holy or the Good Friday.

 

Easter marks the Resurrection of Jesus three days after his Crucifixion. Sandwiched between the 40 preparatory days of Lenten penitence and the seven weeks of Eastertide, it is the most important and most joyous holiday on the Christian calendar. 

 

Easter, like the spring season it graces, is associated with birth, renewal and fertility.  In 2007, Easter falls on April 8.

 

The Easter timeline runs as follows:

• Shrove Tuesday, aka Mardi Gras

• Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent...

• Lent — 40 days, excluding Sundays

• Holy Week, the last week of Lent, consisting of:

  • Palm Sunday

  • Maundy Thursday

  • Good Friday

  • Holy Saturday

• Easter Sunday

• Easter Monday

• Eastertide, the 50 days leading up to Pentecost...

• Pentecost

According to the eighth-century theologian the Venerable Bede (who came up with the dating system of AD and BC), Easter is named for Eostre, an Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. She is associated with the egg and with the hare, both symbols of procreation that have been enduringly incorporated by the church in the form of Easter eggs and the Easter bunny who brings them.

 

 

 

 

Top Ten Reasons to Celebrate Easterr

10. You absolutely love the movie, "The Ten Commandments".

9. You look really, really good in yellow.

8. You just went on a low cholesterol diet and didn't want to waste all those eggs in the fridge.

7. You figure any Holiday that starts with a "Good Friday" can't be all bad.

6. You love to bite the heads off chocolate bunnies.

5. It's a good time to check out your neighborhood church and not be noticed.

4. You have this bunny suit you love to wear, but are too insecure to wear it without a reason.

3. Even though you don't know what it is, you really like the sound of going to a "Passion Play."

2. You figured since Jesus went to all THAT trouble to make it to the first Easter, you'd give it a shot.

1. As a Christian you celebrate the resurrection every other day, why not Easter too?
 

 

 

"Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there.  You can nail it to a cross, wrap it in winding sheets and shut it up in a tomb, but it will rise!"

Husband and wife in bed together. She feels his hand rubbing her shoulder. She: “Oh, that feels good.” His hand moves to her breast. She: “Gee, honey, that feels wonderful.” His hand moves to her leg. She: “Oh, honey, don’t stop.” But he stops.

She: “Why did you stop?”

He: “I found the remote.”

Two guys, one old and one young, are pushing their carts around Home Depot when they collide. The old guy says to the young guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. 

"The young guy says, "That's OK. It's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate." 
The old guy says, "Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like?" 

The young guy says, "Well, she is 24 yrs old, tall, with blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs, big boobs, and she's wearing tight, white shorts, a halter top and no bra. What does your Wife look like?" 

The old guy says, "Doesn't matter let's look for yours!"

Maurice goes into a lawyer's office and says, "I heard people have sued the tobacco companies for giving them lung cancer, and McDonald's for making them fat."

The lawyer says, "Yes, that's true."

Maurice says, "Well, I'm interested in suing too."

The lawyer says, "Okay, McDonald's, or the tobacco companies?"

Maurice says,

"Neither I'm suing Budweiser for all the ugly women I've slept with."

A large company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. This new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. 

On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business! 

The new CEO walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, "How much money do you make a week?" 

A little surprised, the young fellow looked at him and replied, "I make $300 a week. Why?" 

The CEO then handed the guy $1,200 in cash and screamed, "Here's four weeks' pay, now GET OUT and don't come back." 

Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?" 

From across the room came a voice, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."
